On this occasion there were various workshops offered to the public on Saturday, 18 May, between 1:30 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. It is in this context that the event organizers had invited the association Imagine Tours / Radio Coupo Santo and the Calandreta d'Aurenja Schoolto testify to the presence and importance of our regional language: Occitan (in its Provencal dialect), especially its teaching both within the public school and private systems.

Bernard Vaton represented both of our associations that day by leading a workshop entitled "discovery of Provencal" to those families that ventured to the area which was reserved for our presentation.

He was able to give comprehensive information about the language and its teaching, but also offer children a little language game allowing them to use Occitan with each other.

No opportunity to speak and use the language was ignored and one never knows if there was a seed that will soon blossom.
